Goll B. Comparators in Nanometer CMOS Technology 2015 torrent

Textbook in PDF format

This book describes circuit engineering efforts for comparators. Comparators are key components for analog-digital converters and consequently for modern wireless and mobile communication. Electronic circuits for latest mass applications like WIFI or WLAN modems, mobile phones, and smart phones are realized as so-called systems on chip (SoC). Such SoCs are realized in nanometer CMOS technology and contain a lot of digital circuits for digital signal processing but they also contain analog circuits which often form the key devices for good overall performance. The importance of comparators nowadays is often underestimated. They are, however, important to obtain high-performance analog-digital converters and wireless receivers and transmitters. The improvement of analog-digital converters is the final issue in bringing the digital signal processing as close as possible to the antenna. Therefore, comparators need to be improved also. Sense-amplifier type comparators are also important for SRAMs and DRAMs as well as some optical receivers
